Problems since going to 2.3.0 beta r1259 64-bit

[Grantp]

SysInfo Plugin displays the host name in wrong language

Perfmon Plugin displays CPU at 100%

Example of my coding and Rainmeter About are below both these things worked until upgrade

[MeasureCPU0]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Perfmon.dll
PerfMonObject="Processor"
PerfMonInstance=0
PerfMonCounter="% Processor Time"
PerfMonDifference=1
InvertMeasure=1

[MeasureCPU1]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Perfmon.dll
PerfMonObject="Processor"
PerfMonInstance=1
PerfMonCounter="% Processor Time"
PerfMonDifference=1
InvertMeasure=1

[MeasureCPU2]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Perfmon.dll
PerfMonObject="Processor"
PerfMonInstance=2
PerfMonCounter="% Processor Time"
PerfMonDifference=1
InvertMeasure=1

[MeasureCPU3]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Perfmon.dll
PerfMonObject="Processor"
PerfMonInstance=3
PerfMonCounter="% Processor Time"
PerfMonDifference=1
InvertMeasure=1

[MeasureHost]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\SysInfo.dll
SysInfoType=HOST_NAME
UpdateDivider=30

These issues should be corrected in the latest beta version of Rainmeter. Please let us know if this fixes the problems for you.

[Grantp]

Thanks. Latest Beta has sorted above problems.

Many thanks

I just updated to r1265 (x64) and still having problems with the Perfmon plugin. Last couple of Betas has been reporting '0' for the following config (show number of running processes):

Code: Select all

[measureNumProcesses]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Perfmon.dll
PerfMonObject="System"
PerfMonCounter="Processes"
PerfMonInstance=""
PerfMonDifference=0

[meterNumProcesses]
Meter=STRING
Text="%1 Processes"
MeterStyle=styleDefault
MeasureName=measureNumProcesses
X=2r
Y=0r

Worked in the earlier 2.3 releases AFAIK. Windows Perfmon still seems to be reporting the correct value.

[jsmorley]

Your skin exactly as it is works just fine for me, and returns "58 Processes".

I suspect you might need to rebuild your Windows PerfMon database. It seems like it can get hosed from time to time.

Open up a command prompt. If your account is not an administrator, you will need to open cmd.exe with "Run as administrator".

Type in the following: lodctr /R and hit enter.

You should see:

Code: Select all

Info: Successfully rebuilt performance counter setting from system backup store

if it worked right.

Now refresh that skin...

[DigitalDJ]

Nope, that doesn't fix it.

Adding the counter to the Performance Monitor MMC Console works fine, so I don't believe the Windows side of it is broken.

I've put the above config into a separate config and had nothing else load, still reports 0.

[poiru]

Nope, that doesn't fix it.

Can you try with r1245?

[DigitalDJ]

I can roll back to r1245 and everything works fine.

r1259 and r1265 seem to report 0 (Win 7 x64, Rainmeter x64)

[jsmorley]

Just FYI, his skin exactly as is works fine for me with r1265. Also Win 7 x64, Rainmeter x64

I've had the exact same issue with my skin and I posted about it here. Instead of re-posting it again, you can go read it.
